October 1, 20214 yr TLR really doesn’t like Rodon health eh? So many strange comments last couple weeks.

October 2, 20214 yr Well it’s playoff roster spot , is he really healthy? Can he go 5 in a playoff or will he go two and have shoulder issues. I think that is what they are trying to determine.
October 2, 20214 yr Even if Rodon can't throw upper 90s you still gotta put him on the roster. He's still been effective with the lower velocity and is way more useful than someone like Marshall. You honestly can't even throw Marshall in a close playoff game.
October 2, 20214 yr Hard Carl is going to limp out of the dugout ala Kirk Gibson and throw a complete game 2 hit shutout. Edited October 2, 20214 yr by wegner Corrected b4 spelling police get me
October 2, 20214 yr All of the comments Tony has had about Rodon for weeks now has been bizarre. Why would it be anything different now, I guess?

If he can give you at least 60 pitches and keep his fastball at/above 90, you have to have him on the playoff roster. It's not like Burr or Marshall or Ruiz or whoever you'd replace him with is going to be worth anything.

October 4, 20214 yr 5 minutes ago, Tnetennba said: Bank on him going 3 innings but hope they are quick innings and he can go longer.

Just need the other 3 starters to go long enough that you can hand it off to Tepera/Bummer/Kimbrel/Hendriks without needing Kopech in any of those games.

Kopech should be able to go 1 inning in game 1, and then 3 innings in game 3 IMO.

October 5, 20214 yr 23 hours ago, WhiteSoxFan1993 said: He should be able to, but whoever starts game 1 should be able to go 5 and make it unnecessary. That’s 4 innings to cover. Kopech could have one of them.

I think the plan is to have Tepera-Bummer-Kimbrel-Hendriks be the 6th-7th-8th-9th inning guys. Tepera and Bummer could be swapped given whether more lefties are expected to bat in the 6th or 7th. I don't see Kopech in Game 1 or 2 unless the starter gets in trouble before the 6th or if one of the back end bullpen guys gets in trouble.
